FIRSTAR CORPORATION
AND MERCANTILE BANCORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
Note 1-Basis of Presentation
On September 20, 1999 Firstar Corporation acquired Mercantile
Bancorporation Inc. through an exchange of shares.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
has been prepared under the pooling of interests method and is based on
the historical consolidated financial statements of the two companies
adjusted for presentation differences. These restatements were not material.
Note 2-Shareholders' Equity
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Mercantile shareholders
received 2.091 shares of Firstar common stock for each share of Mercantile
stock owned. Mercantile had 158,672,542 shares of common stock outstanding
at September 20, 1999 which was exchanged for approximately 331,748,000 shares
of Firstar common stock. The combined company has approximately 981,200,000
shares outstanding after the merger. The common stock in the unaudited pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the par
value amount of shares of the combined company. Pro forma retained earnings
reflects an adjustment for estimated merger related charges as described in
Note 3 below.
Note 3-Merger Related Charges
In connection with the merger, Firstar and Mercantile expect the
combined company to incur pre-tax merger charges of approximately $560
million. These are expected to include losses on the sale of securities
of $178 million in conjunction with the balance sheet restructure discussed
below, $157 million in employee related payments, $88 million
in direct conversion costs, $53 million in charges related to consolidation
of systems and operations, $29 million in occupancy and equipment charges
(elimination of duplicate facilities and write-off of equipment) and $109
million in other merger related costs (including legal fees, investment
banking fees and charitable contributions). Partially offsetting these
merger costs will be the reversal of $54 million of prior restructuring
and merger accruals of both Firstar and Mercantile. The merger related
charges and related tax effect have been reflected in the unaudited pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1999. The loss on
the sale of securities of $178 million is shown on the balance sheet
adjustment net of existing market value adjustments of $30 million. The
merger charges have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined income statements as they are not expected to have a
continuing impact on the operations of the combined company.
A balance sheet restructuring will occur to conform the combined
company's asset and liability management policies. The restructuring, which
will include the sale of $6.1 billion of assets, includes the following: the
sale of $2.4 billion in U.S. government agency callable securities, $1.9
billion in fixed rate pass-through mortgage-backed securities, $175.0 million
non-agency, securities outside Firstar's investment policies and $1.6 billion
residential real estate mortgages that will be reclassified as held-for-sale.
The proceeds from these sales will be used to reduce short-term borrowings.
These transactions have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1999, and have not been reflected in the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements as they are not expected to
have a material impact on the operations of the combined company.
